A new Rasmussen Reports poll conducted this week claims nearly 70% of Americans expect tensions between North and South Korea to build and they support U.S. military assistance, according to UPI.
The results show 68 percent believe war is imminent in the wake of North Korea’s terror bombing that killed soldiers and civilians in South Korea earlier in the week.
46 percent of the respondents said the United States should provide military assistance if North Korea attacks South Korea. Thirty-nine percent said they oppose sending additional U.S. troops and 28 percent said they were undecided.
The Pentagon has 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea.
Polls conducted by the alternative media tell a different story. On the day North Korea attacked, Infowars.com posted a poll asking if the tension between North and South Korea would lead to war.

58% of respondents to the Infowars.com poll said the incident will not lead to war.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon dispatched the aircraft carrier USS George Washington and at least one attack submarine to the Korean Peninsula, action that will undoubtedly irritate North Korea.
Dispatching the US military is widely seen as an effort to send a message to China and not necessarily to defend South Korea.

“The country that can influence North Korea the most is clearly China,” said Adm Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, earlier in the week. State Department spokesman PJ Crowley also called on China “to send a clear, direct, unified message that it is North Korea that has to change.”
